The limiting fixing member 12 abuts against the second flange 123 to urge the second flange 123 to abut against the sidewall 1121 of the slot 112, which is provided with the second clamping portion 1122, so that the second flange 123 is in close contact with the sidewall 1121 of the slot 112, the fit gap between the two is reduced, and the assembly precision of the decoration 12 is improved.

Specifically, the first blocking portion 1231 may be a buckle, and the second blocking portion 1122 may be a claw. In some alternative embodiments, the first blocking portion 1231 may be a claw, and the second blocking portion 1122 may be a buckle. Of course, the first and second clip portions 1231 and 1122 may be other clip structures that can be used in cooperation with each other.

When the plane of the main body 11 is a horizontal plane, the third direction Z and the first direction X are a transverse direction and a front-back direction, respectively, the slot 112 extends in the transverse direction, and the second snap-in portion 1122 may be formed on a front side wall or a rear side wall of the slot 112. The slot 112 may be formed at a middle position of the body 11 in the front-rear direction so that the decoration piece 12 covers only the front half portion of the body 11, thereby decorating only the front half portion of the body 11.

In some embodiments, the side of the position-limiting fixing member 13 facing the decoration member 12 is provided with at least one rib 131 protruding toward the direction close to the decoration member 12, and the rib 131 abuts against the decoration member 12. Specifically, the rib 131 may abut against the second cuff 123 of the garnish 12. That is, the stopper fixing 13 is in abutting contact with the garnish 12 only by the at least one rib 131, reducing the contact area between the stopper fixing 13 and the garnish 12. Because the position-limiting fixing piece 13 is fixed on the main body 11 after the decorating piece 12 is clamped on the main body 11, the smaller the contact area between the position-limiting fixing piece 13 and the decorating piece 12 is, the smaller the friction force between the two is, and the more convenient the assembly of the position-limiting fixing piece 13 is. Specifically, the number of the protruding ribs 131 may be two or more than three to improve the balance of the abutting action between the limit fixing piece 13 and the garnish 13.

In some embodiments, the curb fixing 13 is mounted to the body 11 from a side of the body 11 facing away from the trim piece 12 and is fixedly attached to the body 11 by a threaded member 16.
